He said that there was nothing new about AA and that its In only because they make every ef fort lo help others. It is generally conceded that A A sobriety, to ligion, medicine and psychiatry. The way Don put it, persons suffering from the disease of al coholism are victims of a combi nation of mental, moral and pysi cal ailments. That's the reason," he added "the alcoholic seldom got needed help when he went singly to his physician, clergyman or psychi atrist. Each had something he needed but not one of them alone was able to give adequate help. Again quoting Don: "The founders of AA took a little the physician and a little from the psychiatrist and formulated the recovery program of Alcoholics Anonymous." . AA program," he said. "They owe it to future victims of the disease lo keep AA functioning. If those be kept, Is something that must be passed on to others, : Come In!

He is Dr. Albert Szent-Gyorgi, 60, who late yesterday was pre sented the Albert Lasker Award of the American Heart Assn in- eluding a $1,000 prize for "dlstin . gulshed achievement" In the field of research concerned with heart and blood-vessel diseases. Specifically, he was honored for pioneering studies leading to a better understanding of the action of muscles a contribution which the AHA declared had provided new clues to the mechanism of heart failure anfl "removed . . . many barriers to the study of normal and diseased hearts." , Vet's Mailbag Eleven years ago the Congress enacted into law a measure call ing for the rehabilitation of dis abled members of the armed ser vices. Known as Public Law 16, in the 11 years since Its approval, the law has provided for the rehabili tation of World War n and for Kor ' ean war veterans In ever increas ing numbers. Veterans Administration records reveal that veternns with Just about every kind of disability can be successfully rehabilitated. VA rec ords show that more than 600 thou sand World War H disabled vet erans were trained or are In train ing under the law. Three years ago the law was amended to provide for the Korean veteran. Already some-13 thousand have taken vo cational training. The types of training run through i Just about every list of activity in : the book the veterans seeking ( training in practically everything from atomic physics and automo- bile mechanics to zoology. The , study disclosed that a little better than one of every three of these disabled veterans trained for the . professions and top-level manger lal Jobs. Another third enrolled In trades and Industrial courses, pre purlng themselves for Jobs "such as 1 machinists, mechanics, electronics specialists and simlllar activities. The balance went in for careers such as farming, sales jobs, cler ical or office activities and for service occupations. One of the most unusual training activities is that of a blinded New York veteran ' who Is successfully pursuing a ca. reer as an ooeratlo singer. The training program for World War II disabled veterans under Public Law 16 ends on July 2E, 1956. For the Korean1 veterans it will end nine years after the end of the present emergency, a date not yet declared. QUESTION OP THE WEEK Q. I notice that you keep ad visine veterans to check all con tracts before purchasing a home under the GI loan program. Does that include a deposit agreement, too, or do you mean just the GI loan contract itself? , A. That means every contract or agreement you are requested to sign as a part of the deal. If you are In doubt about any agreement or contract, see your lawyer first before you sign. US Civil Defense Said Inadequate SAN FRANCISCO fP) Val Peter son, federal civil defense admin istrator, says despite much pro gress, "there is no civil defense organization in America equal to the problem we face." He said it Is the job of local civil . defense authorities to face that I problem and make ready for it. The gentle, friendlv. arav-haired researcher had won the Nobel Prise in medicine In 1937 for his isolation of vitamin C. And he had won other honors for other achievements. But, all that was behind him when he came to this country in 1947 from Hungary to continue work on muscle research that had been interrupted by World War II. "When settling in this countrv." he said in accepting the Lasker award, "I had the greatest diffi culty in finding adequate financial support for my research, because wherever I asked for help I was assea ior a project of what I was going to do. My answer had to be i don't know, that's why it Is research.1 'And when I was asked what it (might be) good for that is. the researcn I was doing I had to answer: " 'No damn good at all.' " But he declared that eventually a unicago meat packing and re- search firm, Armour it Co.. proved to be "the only one who was will ing to give me money and turn me loose. Ann it was that firm's "far- sighted generosity that enabled me to do the work" that led to the heart association's award, he said. The scientist, now director of the Institute for Muscle Research at woods Hole, Mass., told reporters that studies under way by himself and his colleagues might eventu ally lead to an "approach" to t better understanding of such elu sive ailments as muscular dys- iropny.
